The Cricket Thread

It’s a performance to warm the heart ???


The three games will have put a few into the frame -Vince will prob get another chance now , they love Sam Curran but IMO Gregory is a better player than him but I suspect it will prob just be Mahmood and Vince who will be given further chances

thought youd enjoy Ashwins contribution to the farce that is south london money bags XI haha, nearly as bad as when essex spunked 10k on bravo

I think Gregory may get a trip down under this winter, expect Malan likewise despite his lack of contribution, assuming it goes ahead of course

This made me chuckle

Vince showing the selectors he's not done yet. Test recall anyone ?????

Also, Ireland handing one out to SA today. Fair play to them.

Always nice to see

I cant help but think our test side looks better with Malan and Vince in it.

Watching the Eng v India women's T20 while at lunch.. Women's cricket has come a very long way. the athleticism of these players, is awe inspiring.

Am i allowed to say that I am enjoying this more than the Mens T20.

Maybe i spend too much watching kids cricket.. feels very much at home. In the U12 and below, not every kid has the muscle advantage, so this is a good thing to see how you can score even without being Chris Gayle. Watched Smriti Verma hit 5 fours in an over and it was fun..

Harrison like a politician, if he repeats the same lies enough time thinks people will believe him

 

[fundy]

ferocious hitting from Livingstone tonight, composed enough to slow it down in the middle then go again

hard to believe hes not in Englands first choice side!!!! cant be long until the skipper cant get a game

shame hes out next ball after the ton and going to be on the losing side

 

[Mudball]

What an inning by Livingstone… all rise to a new record…

Wow, bet that bowler feels great ?

Yep, there surely can’t be a better feeling than knowing you’re bowling the final over to see out an “easy” cup final win. ?

It's barely a discussion. Run him out, end of story.

 

[fundy]
